Last backup was Dec, Airport utility does not show my time capsule even exists. Backup cannot be done. There was a firmware update that was installed recently, and immediately after that my time capsule was recognized and a backup performed, but it has not fallen off again. Any suggestions?
IPv6 on your Mac might need to be changed to a different setting
To check on your Mac......
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on WiFi on the left panel to highlight it
Click Advanced at the lower right of the window
Click the TCP/IP tab at the top of the next window
Make sure that the setting for Configure IPv6 is set to Link Local Only
If it's not, change it to that setting
Click OK
Click Apply in the next window that appears
Then, perform the same steps as above except click on Ethernet first when you open the Network window
Restart your Mac
Power off the Time Capsule, count to ten, then power it back up
Check to see if the Time Capsule now appears in AirPort Utility. If it does, try to run a backup again.
If the Time Capsule still does not appear in AirPort Utility, there is really nothing left to do at this point except reset the Time Capsule back to default settings and then set it up again to see if that might get things working again.
Power down your entire network.. restart in correct order.
Modem.. wait 2min.
TC.. wait 2min
Computer.. and other clients.
It will often show up after a full restart..
Tell us what happens.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't correct the situation.
Thank you,. Your instructions solved the issue. I would never had figured it out by myself.
